OpenManage Ansible Modules: XML Injection
CVE-2026-91878 is a high-severity XML injection vulnerability in OpenManage Ansible Modules from Dell, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.6 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 11.0.0 or later as the first without the flaw, so updating OpenManage Ansible Modules to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.28% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

Official description
Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules, versions 6.0.0 through 10.0.3, contains an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection') vulnerability in the XML data conversion component. A low privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to XML injection, malicious content injection, and XML parsing errors
Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.
The underlying weakness: XML Injection
The product does not properly neutralize special elements that are used in XML, allowing attackers to modify the syntax, content, or commands of the XML before it is processed by an end system.
